Summary

Inherited constants

From interface android.os.Parcelable

`int`	`CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR` Descriptor bit used with `describeContents()`: indicates that the Parcelable object's flattened representation includes a file descriptor.
`int`	`PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE` Flag for use with `writeToParcel(Parcel, int)`: the object being written is a return value, that is the result of a function such as "`Parcelable someFunction()`", "`void someFunction(out Parcelable)`", or "`void someFunction(inout Parcelable)`".

Public constructors
`LocaleSpan(Locale locale)` Creates a `LocaleSpan` from a well-formed `Locale`.
`LocaleSpan(LocaleList locales)` Creates a `LocaleSpan` from `LocaleList`.
`LocaleSpan(Parcel source)`

Public methods
`int`	`describeContents()` Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation.
`Locale`	`getLocale()`
`LocaleList`	`getLocales()`
`int`	`getSpanTypeId()` Return a special type identifier for this span class.
`String`	`toString()` Returns a string representation of the object.
`void`	`updateDrawState(TextPaint ds)`
`void`	`updateMeasureState(TextPaint paint)` Classes that extend MetricAffectingSpan implement this method to update the text formatting in a way that can change the width or height of characters.
`void`	`writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags)` Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Inherited methods

From class


        
          android.text.style.MetricAffectingSpan

`MetricAffectingSpan`	`getUnderlying()` Returns "this" for most MetricAffectingSpans, but for MetricAffectingSpans that were generated by `CharacterStyle.wrap(CharacterStyle)`, returns the underlying MetricAffectingSpan.
`abstract void`	`updateMeasureState(TextPaint textPaint)` Classes that extend MetricAffectingSpan implement this method to update the text formatting in a way that can change the width or height of characters.

From class


        
          android.text.style.CharacterStyle

`CharacterStyle`	`getUnderlying()` Returns "this" for most CharacterStyles, but for CharacterStyles that were generated by `wrap(CharacterStyle)`, returns the underlying CharacterStyle.
`abstract void`	`updateDrawState(TextPaint tp)`
`static CharacterStyle`	`wrap(CharacterStyle cs)` A given CharacterStyle can only applied to a single region of a given Spanned.

From class


        
          java.lang.Object

`Object`	`clone()` Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)` Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`void`	`finalize()` Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()` Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int`	`hashCode()` Returns a hash code value for the object.
`final void`	`notify()` Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`notifyAll()` Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`String`	`toString()` Returns a string representation of the object.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait()` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.

From interface


        
          android.text.ParcelableSpan


      getSpanTypeId()

Return a special type identifier for this span class.

From interface


        
          android.os.Parcelable

`abstract int`	`describeContents()` Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation.
`abstract void`	`writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags)` Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Public constructors

LocaleSpan

Added in API level 17

public LocaleSpan (Locale locale)

Creates a LocaleSpan from a well-formed Locale. Note that only Locale objects that can be created by Locale#forLanguageTag(String) are supported.

Caveat: Do not specify any Locale object that cannot be created by Locale#forLanguageTag(String). new Locale(" a ", " b c", " d") is an example of such a malformed Locale object.

Parameters
`locale`	`Locale`: The `Locale` of the text to which the span is attached. This value may be `null`.

See also:

LocaleSpan(LocaleList)

LocaleSpan

Added in API level 24

public LocaleSpan (LocaleList locales)

Creates a LocaleSpan from LocaleList.

Parameters
`locales`	`LocaleList`: The `LocaleList` of the text to which the span is attached. This value cannot be `null`.

Throws
`NullPointerException`	if `locales` is null

LocaleSpan

Added in API level 17

public LocaleSpan (Parcel source)

Parameters
`source`	`Parcel`

Public methods

describeContents

Added in API level 17

public int describeContents ()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will include a file descriptor in the output of writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel, int), the return value of this method must include the CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR bit.

Returns
`int`	a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either `0` or `CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR`

getLocale

Added in API level 17

public Locale getLocale ()

Returns
`Locale`	The `Locale` for this span. If multiple locales are associated with this span, only the first locale is returned. `null` if no `Locale` is specified.

See also:

getLocales

Added in API level 24

public LocaleList getLocales ()

Returns
`LocaleList`	The entire list of locales that are associated with this span. This value cannot be `null`.

getSpanTypeId

Added in API level 17

public int getSpanTypeId ()

Return a special type identifier for this span class.

Returns
`int`

toString

Added in API level 17

public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object.

Returns
`String`	a string representation of the object.

updateDrawState

Added in API level 17

public void updateDrawState (TextPaint ds)

Parameters
`ds`	`TextPaint`

updateMeasureState

Added in API level 17

public void updateMeasureState (TextPaint paint)

Classes that extend MetricAffectingSpan implement this method to update the text formatting in a way that can change the width or height of characters.

Parameters
`paint`	`TextPaint`: the paint used for drawing the text This value cannot be `null`.

writeToParcel

Added in API level 17

public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
`dest`	`Parcel`: The Parcel in which the object should be written. This value cannot be `null`.
`flags`	`int`: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or `Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE`. Value is either `0` or a combination of `Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE`, and android.os.Parcelable.PARCELABLE_ELIDE_DUPLICATES
